you know, i covered hurricane katrina. and i'm seeing scenes this week that i thought i would never see again in my lifetime that i saw in katrina. this is just extraordinary, and it's heartbreaking. and we need to wake up and deal with the fact that the weather is different now. and places like new york are going to need a different level of protection, you know, in rotterdam and in london, they have this huge surge barriers to prevent this sort of thing from happening. you can say you don't need it, but guess what, if we have a 100-year storm every five or ten years, it certainly is worth it to avoid this sort of tragedy. >> so lawrence, if i could ask you or guys, chime in, at what point when you look at these gas lines and you look at the effects of this storm that will prolong now for weeks and days to come, we were warned. we knew it was going to be big. were we prepared, and could the implications actually have a potentially j damaging effect for president obama? >> i don't think there's time for reaction to turn ag

this is our version of katrina. i've been touring the south shore today in my district, and the devastation is enormous. what you're showing on your screen is typical of many areas on long island. right now the county executive is meeting with fema to set up plans as to how the recovery will take place. work is coming in from all over the country to work with lipa, to restore the power, but it's going to be a tough haul. i can say that everything that can be done is being done. over the next several days, you'll see more power being restored. this could go on for another ten days to two weeks. >> are there still people missing? there are a lot of people who chose to ride this storm out. a lot of people who weren't even in areas that were supposed to be at high risk and they're still there. >> yeah. for instance, long beach, which is an island 30,000, 40,000 people on the island. many of them stayed, and i was talking to several people today. and this is just anecdotal. friends of theirs who cannot find their wife or
